Roger Federer: The Man to Beat, Does He Have a Crack at the World No. 1 Ranking?

Published: January 9, 2011

commentNo Comments

There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that Roger is the man to beat right now. Since Wimbledon, Federer has won 1,355 more ranking points than his rival Nadal, more titles, more matches and has been very consistent in all tournaments. And of course he ended the year making the top eight players of the ATP looking like they were just pawns. The only exception being Nadal, who’s 2010 season... 


Roger Federer Downs Nikolay Davydenko: A Boost for the Australian Open

Published: January 8, 2011

commentNo Comments

Roger Federer was superlative today. Absolutely brilliant play. Nikolay Davydenko played a little tentative, going for the backhand even when the forehand was wide open at times, but he played well, especially seeing as he was coming back from an injury layoff. As Federer said in his post-match interview, “Nikolay’s a top-10 player, he’s better than his ranking now.” But better... 


Roger Federer: Time for a New Racquet?

Published: January 8, 2011

commentNo Comments

Out of all the players in the top 10 or 20 today, only Roger Federer plays with the least technology dependent. His racquet is based on 30-year-old technology and is the closest in weight and size to a wood racquet. It’s smaller than average at around 90 inches, smaller than average on tour. And he uses natural gut strings. His racquet has one main advantage, that it provides more control on... 


Building The Perfect Woman’s Game In The Era Of Ball Bashers

Published: January 8, 2011

commentNo Comments

Women’s tennis has sunk to a new low. Venus Williams is an ailing force, even on grass, and is unlikely to make any headway into winning an elusive non-grass major. The Belgian duo of Kim and Justine are part-time players, unwilling to take their responsibilities as the new prima donnas of the tour. And Serena Williams is missing, unable to take her rightful place as the true world No. 1. After... 


Rafael Nadal: There’s an ATP Conspiracy against Me Too!

Published: December 18, 2010

commentNo Comments

This article is a response to Vijaylakshmi Shetty’s most recent article. So, there’s a conspiracy in the ATP tour, says Roger Federer. Or at least, that’s what Shetty wants us to believe. I mean, because he gave his own honest opinion to a question asked by the interviewer, he must believe that there’s some clandestine ATP conspiracy against him. Right? I think we’re... 


Roger Federer: Was His Era Weaker Than the Last?

Published: December 12, 2010

commentNo Comments

On Bleacher Report, I’ve noticed that people often compared eras, debating if Federer just capitalised on a low point in ATP tennis. I was perplexed. Did that really matter? After all, how could you measure a weak era? You could judge by slam, masters and title wins, but what if the low numbers were because the person who supposedly capitalised on the ‘weak era’ was just too dominant?... 


Have Tennis Surfaces Really Slowed Down? What Does This Mean for Tennis?

Published: December 10, 2010

commentNo Comments

This issue first piqued my interest when I read the official book for Wimbledon 2001. On the summary of the top eight seeds pre-tournament form, the second seed, Andre Agassi, was said to have had a greater chance of winning Wimbledon then than in the ’90s because the surface had been slowed down. I was perplexed, the courts had slowed down? When I joined Bleacher Report, both Federer and Rafa... 


Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer: The One We All Wanted, the Dream Matchup

Published: November 27, 2010

commentNo Comments

6-1, 6-4. That was the score of Roger Federer’s win over Novak Djokovic. Impressive, isn’t it? By virtue of Federer’s win over Djokovic today, the two players in the Barclays World Tour Finals are Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, a pairing we have not seen since the Madrid Masters in May. But now the question that springs to mind is, “Who will win?” Federer or Nadal? As... 


The WTA’s Elephant in the Room: The Williams Sisters and Indian Wells

 I’m sure we’ve all heard of the Williams sisters’ outraged self-exile from Indian Wells, due to racist comments and spirited boos against them. If you haven’t, this is the story: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 — Indian Wells, Calif. Venus Williams wins a quarterfinal match versus Elena Dementieva to set up a Thursday night semifinal between Venus and Serena Williams.... 


WTA 2011: The New Hopes, The Williams Strike Back and The Return Of The Belgians

Published: November 13, 2010

commentNo Comments

Next year’s WTA season will no doubt be one of the most interesting in a long time. Venus and Serena will be back, supposedly eager to once again prove that their dominance over women’s tennis will extend for as long as they will it to be, regardless of what ranking they receive. Justine Henin will try to prove that she is truly back and still the Queen of clay, while Caroline Wozniacki...
